One potato, two potato, three potato, sweet potato!

I have been trying to make a conscious effort to eat at least 3 to 4 times a day and be healthy! I start out real good but fall off the wagon real easily! Today was one of those days that started well and ended with nachos. :( oopps! 

But to help my healthy habits I have started following some Instagram profiles for new recipes to try. I like to be inspired by recipes but put my own twist on them. Because I can't be a successfully baker/cook if I am just replicating.  Even when people show me pictures of a cake they want I try to make it my own. Anyways, my inspiration today came from hungryhappens.com. She has a lot of good healthy, tasty recipes!  Today I made sweet potato waffles. I had a left over sweet potato from yesterday's spinach sweet potato quesadilla and since you only need a 1/2 cup for the recipe it was perfect! Now, don't get discouraged due to time because this morning I had to work and it ended up being a quick fix! I took all the dry ingredients and tossed them into the blender 

After I made a fine mixture with the dry ingredients I added the wet ones and blended them all together. The recipe made about 4 medium sized waffles. They turned out delicious and would totally make them again maybe adding various toppings to the next batch. 

Needless to say it was a great start to the day! Just enough to hold me over until lunch! 

Hope you can recreate the recipe and add your own twist with toppings or variations!

Sincerely,

Sarah :)
